1 <p> This method ignores the return value of
2 <code>java.io.InputStream.skip()</code> which can skip multiple bytes.
3 If the return value is not checked, the caller will not be able to correctly
4 handle the case where fewer bytes were skipped than the caller requested.
5 This is a particularly insidious kind of bug, because in many programs,
6 skips from input streams usually do skip the full amount of data requested,
7 causing the program to fail only sporadically. With Buffered streams, however,
8 skip() will only skip data in the buffer, and will routinely fail to skip the
9 requested number of bytes.</p>
